My mom’s iPhone got stolen while she was out shopping, Find My iPhone is enabled but we’re stuck because:

  1. She doesn’t remember her Apple ID

  2. The linked gmail address has 2FA

  3. Email does not have an alternative backup option enabled

What’s the best bet to try and find it?

Act fast and go to your ISP and report the IMEI/IMEID or IMEI2 number of the stolen device, and they will blacklist it. If you dont remember the IMEI number its on the back of the box from the stolen phone.

Yes we are going to do this. Seems unlikely that we’ll be able to get it back
